Andrew Long Dismissed from Iowa State Wrestling Team

Posted on by

Andrew Long has been dismissed from the Iowa State wrestling team for multiple violations of team rules, Cyclone coach Kevin Jackson announced Wednesday.

“I have met with Andrew and informed him of our decision that he is no longer part of the Iowa State wrestling program,” Jackson said in a statement. “We have had previous discussions and Andrew understood what kind of conduct is expected of an Iowa State student-athlete. I deeply regret that this decision was necessary.”

Long was a redshirt freshman with a 27-7 record at 125 pounds last season and advanced to the NCAA Championship title match in March.

About Jon

I started wrestling my freshman year of high school in 2000 in Northern California. My first match lasted about 16 seconds and ended with me on my back. I am proud to say that my second one lasted a bit longer, but sad to report that it ended the same way. That year was my hardest year. I lost every match except for one. My sophomore year I threw out my back and couldn’t wrestle but I still showed up to practice nearly every day and became the general “mat monkey.” Junior year I was back. This was the year that I suffered most of my injuries. I broke fingers, cracked ribs and dislocated both my shoulders at the same time. It was also the best record I had.
